Support poured in from her loyal fanbase, who flooded her Instagram comments with messages of concern and encouragement. One user wrote:
“Hope we get you back soon, your Twitter SG family misses you so much.”

For now, Shreya has assured fans that if she manages to recover her account, she will share an official update via video. Until then, she urges everyone to stay cautious and avoid engaging with any suspicious activity from the compromised profile.
